No. 16/991,931, filed on Aug. 20, 2020, which is a is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/CN2019/074869, filed on Feb. 12, 2019, which claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/629,899, filed on Feb. 13, 2018, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.

BACKGROUND

The present disclosure relates to a field of communication systems, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for performing vehicle to everything (V2X) communication.

Latency and reliability play important roles when setting requirements in wireless communication systems. One motivation for reducing latency is to allow faster or almost immediate transmission such as a physical layer (layer 1, L1) transmission upon arrival of packet data transport block (TB) for delay sensitive applications/services with high proximity service (ProSe) per packet priority (PPPP)/priority level (i.e., short-latency requirement). Another motivation is to reduce the latency (time taken) in getting a network (e.g., eNB/gNB) assignment of resources after sending a scheduling request (SR) and a buffer status report (BSR), that is sidelink (SL) user equipment (UE) information.

Current release 14 (Rel-14) long term evolution (LTE)-V2X resource request mechanisms and processes under a network scheduling transmission mode (e.g., mode 3 in LTE-V2X) for L1 transmission upon arrival of data TB from higher layer are not fast enough to support future advanced services and use cases with tight latency requirements of less than 20 ms.

One current enhancement method that has been proposed to LTE Release 15 is to additionally send a latency requirement to the eNB along with a current SL-SR and BSR information for a corresponding data messages/service, so that the eNB is able to assign Mode 3 (M3) semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) like resources with an appropriate transmission interval to fulfill the latency requirement.

For the above current proposed solution, it can satisfy stringent latency requirements of new future advanced services once the eNB has assigned SPS-like M3 resources. However, upon the arrival of data TB for a first time, a process of sending in uplink (UL) the latency requirement, SL-SR and BSR to the eNB, processing of such request at the eNB and sending the SL-scheduling in the downlink (DL) until a UE can start an L1 transmission over a sidelink would still take quite some time. For new services with latency requirement as short as 5 ms or even 10 ms, it is impossible to fulfill right at the beginning.

There is a need to provide a new technical solution for an apparatus and a method for performing vehicle to everything (V2X) communication to reach low latency and high reliability.

In some embodiments, the processor 11 is configured to determine an availability of the configured GF resources by reading a resource reservation, a time location field, and a frequency location field in a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) transmitted from another user equipment.

In some embodiments, upon the arrival of a sidelink data packet from an upper layer of the user equipment 10 for transmission, the transceiver 13 performs a sidelink transmission of a data transport block (TB) using the configured GF resources within a latency time period requirement which is according to a ProSe (proximity service) per packet priority (PPPP) level of the sidelink data packet. In detail, the sidelink transmission of the data TB using the configured GF resources includes an initial transmission and a re-transmission of the same data TB. The initial transmission and the re-transmission of the same data TB are in different subframes of the network scheduled sidelink resource pool.

In some embodiments, the re-transmission of the same data TB is frequency hopping transmitted in a different frequency portion of the network scheduled sidelink resource pool than the initial transmission.

FIG. 4 illustrates a schematic diagram illustrating a structure of a configured grant-free (GF) resources/sub-pool in an upper and lower frequency portions of a network scheduled sidelink resource pool according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIGS. 1 and 4 illustrate that, in some embodiments, in a network scheduling transmission mode (e.g., Mode 3 in LTE), the network configures grant-free (GF) resources or a sub-pool of grant-free resources that are in at least one network scheduled resource pool (e.g., Mode 3 resource pool in LTE) 100 for urgent/immediate sidelink (SL) data TB transmissions for the UE 10 such as Mode 3 (M3) UEs while the UE 10 requesting and waiting for SL grant from the base station 20, such as an eNB. In detail, upon arrival of SL data TB with latency requirement of less than or equal to 20 ms, M3 UEs are allowed to use these GF resources for temporary transmission until receiving an SL grant from the eNB.

In reference to FIG. 4, GF resources/sub-pool includes multiple sidelink sub-channels in a frequency domain 101 and in a time domain 102. A number of GF sub-channels per subframe in an upper frequency portion 110 is the same as a number of GF sub-channels in a lower frequency portion 120, to allow symmetrical resources for frequency hopping transmissions.

In some embodiments, GF sub-channels are further indexed as F1, F2, . . . , Fy, Fz, as illustrated by 131, 132, 133, and 134 in the frequency domain, respectively.

Frequency hopping pattern/rule of the embodiment is as follows.

1. Sidelink transmission of a data TB using GF resources/sub-pool includes at least an initial transmission and one re-transmission of the same data TB.

2. Transmissions of the initial-transmission and re-transmission of the same data TB are in different subframe.

3. At least one re-transmission of the same data TB is frequency hopping transmitted in a different frequency portion of the Mode 3 resource pool than the initial transmission.

4. The same GF sub-channel index in an upper frequency portion F1 131 or F2 132 is repeated in the same order in a lower frequency portion F′1 135 or F′2 136. In addition, each frequency hopping pair F1/F′1 or F2/F′2 is a pair of GF sub-channels for transmitting the initial-transmission and re-transmission of the same data TB.

5. Similarly, the same GF sub-channel index in a lower frequency portion Fy 133 or Fz 134 is repeated in the same order in an upper frequency portion F′y 137 or F′z 138. In addition, each frequency hopping pair Fy/F′y or Fz/F′z is a pair of GF sub-channels for transmitting the initial-transmission and re-transmission of the same data TB.

In some embodiments, a method for resource selection and data TB transmissions using the GF resource sub-pool includes the following steps.

Step 1, monitoring and listening period 130 (such as 20-100 ms): A Mode 3 UE constantly monitors and listens to SL data messages transmitted on GF sub-pool resources. The Mode 3 UE determines the utilization of GF sub-pool resources and their future availability by reading a resource reservation and time and frequency locations fields in PSCCH transmitted from other UEs.

Step 2, determining transmission (Tx) period 140: Upon the arrival of SL data packet from UE's own upper layer for transmission, the UE determines based on latency requirement/PPPP level of the data packet a maximum Tx period (e.g., M ms) within which the UE completes its L1 transmission of the data packet TB (including both initial-transmission and re-transmission).

Step 3, GF sub-channel/resource-pair selection: Based on identified available GF resources from Step 1, the UE selects an available/empty (e.g., earliest) GF sub-channel (Fx) within a derived Tx period randomly or according to UE's ID (e.g., C-RNTI, SL-V-RNTI or SL-SPS-V-RNTI) and the total number of GF sub-channels in the frequency domain. Fx=Mod {UE ID, No. of GF frequency sub-channels per subframe} Based on the frequency hopping pattern/rule described previously, the UE selects a next available GF sub-channel for re-transmission of the same data TB within the Tx period.

In one example, a Mode 3 UE selects a GF resource F1 141 for its initial-transmission of a data TB. According to the frequency hopping pattern/rule and based on the availability of GF resources within a Tx period, the UE selects another GF resource F′1 142 for re-transmission of the same data TB.

In another example, a Mode 3 UE selects a GF resource Fx 143 for its initial-transmission of a data TB. According to the frequency hopping pattern/rule and based on the availability of GF resources within a Tx period, the UE selects another GF resource F′x 144 for re-transmission of the same data TB.

Step 4, setting SCI parameters in PSCCH: Resource reservation field is set according to a number of data TB transmission needed within 20 ms. The priority field is set according to the latency requirement associated with data TB's PPPP level. The time gap is according to per resource availability within the Tx period. Frequency resource location is according to per frequency hopping rule.

In the embodiment, it is proposed to introduce Grant-Free (GF)/configured grant resources/or sub-pool within a network scheduled sidelink resource pool (e.g., a Mode 3 resource pool in LTE-V2X) to allow sidelink UEs to perform immediate and temporally L1 transmissions upon arrival of urgent packet data TB from the upper layers while waiting for network scheduling of grant-based (GB) resources for sidelink transmissions.

The embodiment includes at least one of the following advantages.

1. Multiple sub-channels in the frequency domain of a GF resource sub-pool increases the selection/distribution of resources among Mode 3 UEs that need to perform urgent ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) transmissions. This minimizes transmission collisions.

2. Monitoring and listening of GF resource utilization, and determination of transmission subframes/time instances is based on individual data latency requirement (PPPP level), and resource availability will further reduce Tx collision among Mode 3 UEs.

3. Frequency hopping provides diversity gain in the frequency domain for more reliable data delivery over sidelink.
